Dayton Power & Light Responds to PUCO Decision on Electric Security Plan
DAYTON, Ohio –September 6, 2013 – Today, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) issued a correction to its Order in the Dayton Power & Light (DP&L or Company) rate proceeding that takes meaningful steps to balance the interests of the Company, its customers, and the region’s needs. However, the entirety of the Order falls short in addressing key issues challenging DP&L.
“We will be completing a detailed analysis of the PUCO’s decision. The Order provides clarity for three years, but the PUCO’s decision places risk on DP&L in 2017 and 2018. We have invested in our business for decades and it is unclear whether this Order will allow a smooth path to competition,” said Derek A. Porter, president of DP&L.
Porter continued, “DP&L is committed to the PUCO’s goal of moving toward a competitive market. Our goal remains, providing safe, reliable service to customers while maintaining our leadership and support for the community.
